chapter 34
A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life[1]
Noticing the young man being under an emotional instability, Doctor Luo came to console, saying, âYou just stay here in my shop, he doesnât dare to come here. If he comes, I will try my best to protect you!â
Song Qinghan shook his head and stood up slowly, saying, âNo, I canât be here. I donât want to get you in trouble. Doctor Luo, youâre such a man of kindness to help me out. I will figure out an idea myself to save Dahuâ¦â
The status quo Song Qinghan was caught in sink worried Doctor Luo the most, he couldnât let the young man carrying a baby go without protection, he then persuaded, âWhat if you get caught after you leave here? You probably would lose your baby if you get yourself in limbo.â
Touching his own belly, Song Qinghan seemed to calm down with a sudden sober look on his face, he raised his head looking at Doctor Luo, saying, âDonât worry about that, Doctor Luo. I will surely take good care of myself and my baby, this is the child of Dahu. I will sacrifice myself in protecting him if necessary. I just got an idea in mind, I will go and find if it is feasible.â
Doctor Luo stared at him skeptically, saying, âAre you sure about that, not taking risk yourself?â
Song Qinghan nodded and said with certainty, âDefinitely, I wonât take the risk!â
Doctor Luo finally gave it up persuading Song Qinghan, he just gave the way to him, urging, âThen take care of yourself, if you meet some problems, feel free to come back here. Huichun Shop is always opened for you.â
Feeling a trace of warmth flowing in mind, Song Qinghan forced himself to smile big, and bowed himself showing his great respect to Doctor Luo, saying, âAgain, thank you so much, Doctor Luo, for your great kindness. I will take Dahu here again when everything is done.â
Doctor Luo waved his hands, saying in a causal tone, âThank me for what? I did not do you any favor yet. Let us forget the fruit thing for some days. When your husband is released, we will keep on our business.â
Song Qinghan nodded, then he turned around and left the place.
The person who tied the bell is required to untie it. Well, that is to say, Lin Dafu bore the most responsibility for this affair.
Song Qinghan stood in front of the Lin Mansion. Not long, he finally met someone he wanted to meet.
Lin Dafu landed on the ground from his sedan, staring at Song Qinghan in amazement, saying, âHan, what brings you here?â
At the moment Song Qinghan was about to speak, he passed out without any signs.
Lin Dafu approached to catch Song Qinghan in a flash, and then he shouted to his servant, âTake doctor here, NOW!â
He picked Song Qinghan up and walked towards the guest room.
By the time he carefully put Song Qinghan down in bed, the mansion doctor arrived in the room.
After the doctor got the pulse, he wanted to ask a few more questions. But then he caught a glimpse of Lin Dafu, who was grabbing a face of seriousness and impatience, he didnât dare to ask but drew a conclusion, saying, âHe, umm⦠heâd been through a great pressure and overwhelming anxiety. That causes him a temporary coma. Nothing too bad, just rest until heâs fine.â
Beyond the mansion doctorâs expectation, Lin Dafu didnât release the seriousness on his face, but the eyebrows of his became even more tightened. Lin Dafu said, âWhat do you mean Overwhelming Anxiety? A great pressure? What happened to him?â
The doctor came to an awkwardness, saying, âIâm⦠Iâm afraid that it canât be diagnosed from the pulseâ¦â
Lin Dafu didnât expect him to answer, he just waved his sleeves, ordering, âJust get out of here, all of you!â
All the servants and doctor left, leaving only Lin Dafu and Song Qinghan there. Lin Dafu approached and sat on the corner of the bed, he could clearly see that Song Qinghan was frowning when he was dreaming. He felt so much for Song Qinghan, saying sympathetically, âDid Wu Dahu abuse you? Pressure? How can you suffer something like that since youâre pregnant? How dared he!â
He muttered and muttered, and finally he found out Song Qinghan couldnât even hear any of his voice, and then he stopped, staring at the face of Song Qinghan. His thought had gone wild, but no one could tell whatâs in his mind.
Night fell when Song Qinghan could finally regain his consciousness and gradually opened his eyes.
There was no light in the room. But he could see a shadow sitting aside him on the corner of the bed, he spoke in subconsciousness, âDahu! Dahu, is that you?â
He suddenly squatted, grabbed the manâs hand and said excitedly, âDahu, I thought it was realâ¦â
But just at the moment when Song Qinghan recognized the man aside him, he retracted his hand as if he got an electric shock himself.
âHow can you just be here?â Song QInghan asked.
Noticing the sudden change of the attitude of Song Qinghan, Lin Dafu smile with a bitterness. He stood up and walked to the table lighting up the candle, and saying, âWell, you passed out in front of my mansion. And here is one of the guest room of my house. So what do you think I am supposed to be here?â
All of a sudden, the memories clustered into Song Qinghanâs mind, he flipped himself in a quick move and then walked to Lin Dafu, saying urgently, âHey, Wang Huailing blamed me for everything including your decision to announce divorce with him. He wants to kill me. Dahu took all the responsibilities for me and was locked up in jail. Can you get him out?â
Lin Dafu took a pause for a brief moment when he tried to light up another candle, then he turned to say, âOh, I get it. Overwhelming anxiety. Is that all your worry about?â
Song Qinghan was dumbfounded standing there, but then came to a coldness, saying, âItâs all because of you. If you didnât divorce with Wang Huailing, he wouldnât resort any possible means to set me up. If he didnât set me up, Dahu wouldnât be locked in jail because of me. Well, you are involved in his affair no matter what!â
Seeing the enraged face of Song Qinghan, Lin Dafu delivered another smile of bitterness, saying, âI divorced with him because of you. You shouldnât blame me for that.â
âMoreoverâ¦â Lin Dafu continued to say, âDo you think that even if I didnât divorce with him, he wouldnât bother you any more?â
Song Qinghan yelled angrily, âI am not a threatening one for him any more since you kicked me out of the mansion. Whatâs his point targeting me?â
Lin Dafu shook his head and said in calm, âYouâve no idea about Wang Huailing. As long as he finds out I still keep infatuation for you, he will not give it up setting you up. It doesnât matter if you are still in his mansion or not.â
Song Qinghan was stunned hearing that, saying, âWhy donât you just tell him that we are done? Well, that is still your problem causing EVERYTHING!â
Lin Dafu was hurt when Song Qinghan said something like that, he uttered in sorrow, âYou never know! No one in the world can be able to control the matter of emtions. There wonât be million styles of sadness if you can control it easily!â
After that, there came a dead silence between the two for a brief moment, and then it was Song Qinghan who found out he might have said something hurtful. He was here for help, not for a denounce.
He calmly said, âOkay then, it seems that itâs no use for us to discuss about whoâs gonna be blamed for. I just want Dahu out of the jail. If you can make that, I am begging you for the help. I will do anything for that. If you canât, then I will leave here.â
Lin Dafu took a deep look at him and said slowly, âIt can be, but you know, there should be a huge price waiting ahead for me if I take that promise. The other party is the supreme power of the county, you know what I mean.â
Song Qinghan frowned and he came to figure out the intentions of Lin Dafu, saying, âWhat do you want from me?â
Lin Dafu suddenly changed the topic, saying, âItâs late now. Letâs talk after dinner.â
He didnât wait for Song Qinghan to agree and turned to leave.
Song Qinghan frowned with rage following the man up behind.
Is it a right time for him to have dinner? He didnât even know whether Wu Dahu was suffering from starvation or not. How could Lin Dafu be so indifferent?!
During the dinner time, Lin Dafu seemed to regain his mood. He kept picking up food with his chopsticks into Song Qinghanâs bowl, saying with a big smile, âAll these are your favorite, and are good for your health. â
But Song Qinghan didnât have that mood to have such a dinner, he stabbed the rice in the bowl using the chopsticks. But then he thought of the baby, so he forced himself to finished half of the food. When he was about to put down the chopsticks, Lin Dafu came to say, âIf you donât eat them, how am I supposed to negotiate with you about that?â
Song Qinghan had no choice, what he could only do was to pretend gobbling everything up. Then he put down the bowl and chopsticks, frowning himself and saying, âNow is it time to talk?â
Lin Dafu put down his bowl slowly, either, but delivered a smile to Song Qinghan and then stood up, saying, âLetâs out for a walk, it helps us better digest. We will talk while walking.â
Song Qinghan erupted all of a sudden, and rushed outside in a quick move, waiting for Lin Dafu at the corner of the door.
Except the people, it could be seen that everything was just perfectly splendid within Lin Mansion. It got a beautiful garden, a nice view of it even it was at a midnight. The plants surrounding were all well-trimmed under a tidy arrangement.
Yet, neither of them had such a mood indulging into this view.
Finally, it was Song Qinghan broke the awkward silence while they were walking to the center of the garden with a pond aside. He paused, asking, âWhat now? Can you just give me a direct answer? Yes, or no. Otherwise I will conceive another way myself, youâre just wasting time.â
A breeze blowing, with the mildest moonlight shimmering on the lake, like countless diamonds dancing on the water. Lin Dafu looked at the pond, saying, âYes, I can help you get Wu Dahu out of the jail, but you have to stay with me for a total five days.â
Song Qinghan frowned and asked, âBut how? Stay with you in the mansion, and nowhere to go?â
Lin Dafu suddenly sighed and said with his hands behind his back, âWell, I just want to recall the days weâd been through together, and eager for a recurrence. Just five days. No limitation, in this mansion or wherever you like, but just stay with me!â
A recurrence? That sounded not like a matter of beauty.
Song Qinghan asked cautiously, âSo are we going to make some intimate touch?â
Lin Dafu looked at Song Qinghanâs belly, and answered with a big smile, âWhat can I do to you since youâre carrying a big belly? Well, what I can do is just accompany with you and help you out when you need help.â
Song Qinghan thought for a moment, he thought that wasnât a hardcore condition at all. So he decided, âI will take it, but you go ask them to release Dahu tomorrow!â
Lin Dafu looked at him with a smirk, âIâm not the superior above the county magistrate, I cannot order him like that. It takes time when you need some insider relations. It may take a long or short time. But I can promise you, Wu Dahu will be released within five days!â
âWhatâs moreâ¦â Lin Dafu came to a pause for a brief moment, âIf you fail to help me gain the recurrence. This oral treaty will come to a cancellation.â
Song Qinghan frowned tightly, saying, âHow am I able to know your feelings? What if you get no feelings after five days, isnât it a time-wasting matter for me?â
Lin Dafu shook his head and promised, âWeâll figure it out tomorrow to see if I get any feeling. And I will tell you the result tomorrow night. If the treaty finally comes to a cancellation, I protect you one night although I canât make it out to save Wu Dahu. Isnât it? After all, Wang Huailing wonât stop trapping you!â
Well, that was such a treaty with high-handed clause, but Song Qinghan had nothing else to choose except that, he finally came to accept the deal, saying, âFine. I will lend you one day to think about it.â
